    and you think it’s impossible for him to have destroyed the platform that used to be the international commons on purpose???

    Don’t be a liar. Or worse, assumptive trash eager to put words onto the others’ mouths.

    I did not say anything remotely interpretable as that. I literally said “Perhaps, in Twitter’s case. I don’t know.”

    Please justify your reasoning, I can’t wait.

    I’m not justifying the claim that you’re lying (or assuming) that I made.

    Please go back to Reddit, where assumptiveness and illiteracy are praised and cheered.

    [I apologise to other users in this community for my tone, but I think that it’s warranted here.]

      Apologies, I suppose. I read it as “perhaps, except in Twitters case.”

      I won’t go back to Reddit, but I will lay down, do some reflecting, and cry a bit. Cheers!

        Apology accepted. I also apologise for the tone.


        If you want my opinion on Twitter: I’m not too informed on the platform but I think that he did it on purpose, and due to stupidity. He is a right-wing sociopath and a moron with enough money to become too big to fail.

        A smart but malicious person in Musk’s shoes would’ve likely introduced the changes slowly, boiling the frogs there, shifting the Overton window to the right, in a way that benefits rich people in detriment to everyone else - because that would benefit Musk himself. Twitter as “the international commons” makes it valuable for anyone to spread shitty discourses there, in a way that they reach governments directly.

        But instead of seizing the tool for his own purposes, he broke it.

          That is an apt take that I fully, 100% condone.

            I love these kind of unnecessarily hostile interactions that deflate almost immediately and end on a good tone. Cheers!
